(25,127 posts)Unless it is a private "get what you pay for diploma" most people have to deal with a lot of shit to get a BA. And may (or do less violent and more tolerant people choose higher education? I'm guessing a little of both.) come out more tolerant and less violent.
Finishing 120 hours and finishing alone can be a predictor of tolerance capacity. It isn't perfect but when it comes to what police officers have to do it sure seems like a good start.
And just like teaching at a Title 1 school can wipe out your loan debt why not do the same for police officers? And if someone wants to be a police officer, but cannot pay for college, cover their tuition if they serve for 5 years or more.
